D-DU-UDU
You  would think that keeping up would be  easier
 Living large and living straight  bend yourself
 Summertime it always seems to come  creeping up
 Keep in mind  you wanted to
You’re  cold and you’re  tired
 You’re hurt and you’re  sad
 For all that you  give us
 For all that you  had
 <bar chords:="" b="" –="" 7th="" fret,="" a="" 5th="" fret="">
 It’s  not what you think  it is
 It’s  not what you think it is
 It’s  not what you think it is
 You  would think that living large and living well
 Will  wear you down and wear you thin and where you gone
 And don’t you know that I’m grumpy when the time is right
 And time is on my side
 Baby  you could fix me up
 I  could do the same for you and maybe sometime soon
 We  can spend some time alone to talk about the things
 We should talk about
 Tell  me about the time when everything’s a mess
 Tell  me about the time I haven’t heard it yet
   About the time, tell me about the time, tell me about the
 Time,  cos all  you need is time
 You’re  cold and you’re tired
 Things  just aren’t well
 Frightful  of strangers
 Scared  of yourself
  <bar chords:="" b="" –="" 7th="" fret,="" a="" 5th="" fret="">
 It’s  not what you think  it is
 It’s  not what you think it is
 It’s  not what you think it is
 You’re  strung out and  there’s hell to pay
 You’re  holding out for some  better day
 And  your feet are inspired
 We  need some fresh air
 And  your fingers are on fire
 Release  it all there
  <bar chords:="" b="" –="" 7th="" fret,="" a="" 5th="" fret="">
 It’s  not what you think it  is
 It’s  not what you think it might be
 It’s  not what you think it is
